  • Chapter VI Conclusions
    Chapter VI Conclusions Trade and commerce of Adil Shahi Sultanate was gradually increasing through various stages, but it reached to a height after the fall of Barid Shahi and Vijaynagar. The establishment of Bahmani rule had removed Bijapur’s status as a remote frontier post, however, under the Bahamanis Bijapur never possessed the economic or political importance of Gulbarga and Bidar, the two Bahmani capitals. Bijapur’s de facto independence (1490), from Bahmani authority could not suddenly transform the city into a notable centre of Islamic civilization. One political city had to fall or decline so that a new political city rose and grew in its stead. Bidar was declined in the last quarter of 15th century and Vijaynagar was destroyed by confederate Muslim states of the Deccan in the battle of Talikota in 1565 and on its ashes raised the glory of Bijapur. By the end of sixteenth century Bijapur had emerged as one of the major Islamic urban centres. The early seventeenth century saw the peak growth of the city’s population, on the basis of the estimation of James Campbell, two million of population was resided within and outside of fort of Bijapur. Under the aegis of Ibrahim II and Muhammad Adil Shah, Bijapur’s significance in all respects grew further and it became an important city of the Deccan. Migration of Qadiri Sufis into the Bijapur during this period could be seen as an important indicator of urbanization. After the fall of Vijaynagar the resources of sultanate increases and Karwar, Honawar and Bhatkal came in their possession which helps to boost up their trade and 548 J.D.B., Gribble, History of the Deccan, op.

  • The Role of India's Adil Shahi Dynasty in Spreading Persian Language
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION e-ISSN: 1306-3065 OPEN ACCESS 2018, Vol. 13, No. 2, 211-220 The Role of India’s Adil Shahi Dynasty in Spreading Persian Language Mansour Nikpanah 1* 1 Higher educational complex of Saravan, Sistan and Baluchestan, IRAN * CORRESPONDENCE: [email protected] ABSTRACT Iran and India are countries with a common language, culture, race, religion, etc. But they have been away from each other for different local and foreign causes so that these people having the same root in the past have become strangers today. By returning to the Indian history we can clarify that the center of Persian language and mores was located in this land. This case is not only exclusive to the northern areas of the Indian peninsula but also included the southern states and some prominent poets among the natives there started to talk in Persian. Bijapur is one of these areas receiving myriads of writers and scholars following the policies of Bahmani and Adil Shahi dynasties. In this article this region’s position is going to be investigated regarding its attention toward Persian language and poetry in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Keywords: Bijapur, Adil Shahi Dynasty, Ibrahim Adil Shah, Persian language INTRODUCTION Poetry has been a perpetual companion of human since the advent of history and has brought about unique and exceptional moments for mankind with its appearance. So, according to Sir Philip Sydney: “Nature never depicts the world with so many colorful patters as different poets have created” (Yousefi, 1992, p. 312). Although poetry is the result of poet’s self-development, by taking a glance at the literary past we will realize that some rulers of those times have paid attention to poets and poetry.

Historians are unanimous on the fact that this phase in India history had a distinct identity and as such differed from the preceding early historical and succeeding medieval. This in turn brings home the presence of the elements of change and continuity in Indian history. It is identified as a phase in the transition to the medieval. Perception of a unilinear and uniform pattern of historical development is challenged. Changes are identified not merely in dynastic upheavals but are also located in socio-economic, political and cultural conditions.

  • A Study of the Local Administration of Adilshahi Sultanate (A.D
    A STUDY OF THE LOCAL ADMlNISTRATION OF ADILSHAHI SULTANATE (A.D. 1489-1686)* By HIROSHI FUKAZAWA Lecturer of Asian Economy I. INTRODUCTION 1. Preliminary Remarks The Adilshahi Sultanate was established in A.D. 1489 by Yusuf Adil Khan with Bijapor as its capital. It was one of the five Sultanates of the Deccan which sprang up after the dissolution of the Bahmanl Sultanate. Until 1686, when it was annexed to the mighty Mughal Empire, it had eight Sultans on its throne, was the most extensive and powerful of the five Deccan Sultanates, and played an important part in the political and cultural history of medieval India,l The purpose of this article is, however, not to discuss the politico-cultural history of this Sultanate, but to analyse the institutions of local administration in its established territory, roughly from the Bhtm~ to the Tungabhadra. Two broad questions have led me to study the subject. First, the studies hitherto attempted on the medieval Deccan during the Muslim period appear to be mainly confined either to the chronological narration of political events or to the cultural history of the court.2 This trend of research may be said to be due to two causes: (1) the source materials so far used have been mostly the court chronicles written * A]though the responsibility for writing this article as welll as for its contents is solely mine, I am nevertheless greatly indebted to the guidance' and instruction given by Prof. G.H. Khare of Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal, Poona, and wish to express my most sincere gratitude to him.

  • ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES in KARNATAKA Maruti T
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 4, No 1, 2012 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES IN KARNATAKA Maruti T. Kamble Department of History and Archaeology Karnatak University Dharwad - 580003 Karnataka State, India. E-mail: [email protected] -Abstract- This paper concentrates on the mosques (masjids) of the period of the Adil Shahis, one of the Muslim dynasties which had Turkish origin that ruled Karnataka along with the other parts of the Deccan. A Mosque is primarily a religious building for the performance of the daily prayers for five times, one of the five pillars of Islam. It is thus, the most important building for Muslims. Mosques in Karnataka have a long history and tradition. The Adil Shahis constructed mosques in Maharastra, Andra Pradesh and other parts of Karnataka State. Karnataka “the priceless gift of indulgent nature” is a unique blend of glorious past and rich present, situated on the lower West Coast of South India. It was ruled by the Muslim dynasties from the middle of the 14th century to 18th century. The Adil Shahis ruled Karnataka from 1489 A.D., to 1686 A.D., and wielded a great political power over many parts of Karnataka. The founder Yusuf Adil Shah was the son of Ottoman Sultan Murad II of Turkey. In their period many secular and religious monuments were constructed. The Adil Shahi mosques were not only places of worship but also places for education and social activities. The paper examines the construction of the mosques by the Adil Shahis, their patrons and also the construction pattern, architects, features and its role in the society.

  • Chapter IV Impact of the Europeans in Bijapur Sultanate 1510-1686
    Chapter IV Impact of the Europeans in Bijapur Sultanate 1510-1686 The Portuguese were the first Europeans to come into contact with the Bijapur Sultanate during the first decade of sixteenth century, later on the English and the Dutch entered into this relationship in the first half of the seventeenth century and the French was permitted to establish their factory at pondichery in 1674. This chapter discusses the impact of the European trade on the economy of the Bijapur Sultanate. The relations between the Sultan and the different European powers, the reason for permission granted to establish factories, and the problems faced by the Europeans as a result of the policies of the Sultans is studied here. An attempt has been made to understand the place of trade and commerce in the official policies of the sultanate. 1. Relations with the Portuguese (1510-1686) The Portuguese were the first European nation to establish overseas commercial intercourse with India during the medieval period of Indian History. The entry of the Portuguese had affected the patterns of trade in Asia as a whole. The centre of Portuguese power was Goa, which they captured from Adil Shahi Sultanate in 1510. Various key events related to the relations of Adil Shahi Sultanate with the Portuguese are discussed here. A new phase in Luso-Indian relation began from 1508 with the dispatch of Francisco de Almeida with the title of Viceroy and authorization by the king of 162 Portugal to consolidate Portuguese commerce with the east on imperial lines. 300 Almeida was instructed to conclude alliances with the Indian rulers and to interrupt Muslim spice trade by establishing control of the Red Sea.

  • MELA Notes 75–76 (Fall 2002–Spring 2003)
    A Guide to Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu Manuscript Libraries in India Omar Khalidi Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology Introduction hen scholars of Islamic studies think of manuscripts in Arabic W and related languages, they almost invariably turn to the great library holdings in the Middle East and Europe, forgetting that there are huge collections elsewhere, for example in India. It is estimated that in 2003, India possesses nearly one hundred thousand manuscripts in Arabic script spread over a number of libraries in various parts of the country. This number is in addition to what may be available in undocumented private collections. The Indian collections are renowned for the importance of many individual items, from some of the finest calligraphic and illustrated manuscripts of the Qur-an to autograph and other high-quality copies of major legal, literary, scientific, and historial works. Manuscripts produced in India but taken away ille- gally to Europe is another category altogether. Should various cultural properties of Indian Islamic origin found in foreign countries ever be returned to their place of origin, pre¨eminenceof many European mu- seums and libraries would be diminished. For instance, most of the Arabic and Persian, and Urdu collections in the British Library are of Indian origin.1 Similar is the case with Persian manuscripts in France’s Biblioth`equenationale.2 Poet philosopher Allama Iqbal lamented the theft of Indian books in European libraries in a memorable couplet: 1 Ursula Sims-Williams, “The Arabic and Persian Collections in the India Office Library,” pp. 47–52, in Collections in British Libraries on Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Durham, U.K., 1981.
